{"product_id":"what-young-chimpanzees-know-about-seeing-isbn-9780631224525","title":"What Young Chimpanzees Know about Seeing","description":"Previous experimental research has suggested that chimpanzees may understand some of the epitemological aspects of visual perception, such as how the perceptual act of seeing can have internal mental consequences for an individual's state of knowledge. Other research suggests that chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates may understand visual perception at a simpler level; that is, they may at least understand seeing as a mental event that subjectively anchors organisms to the external world. However, these results are ambiguous and are open to several interpretations. In this Monograph, we report the results of 15 studies that were conducted with chimpanzees and preschool children to explore their knowledge about visual perception. \u003cp\u003eAbstract v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI Reconstructing the Evolution of Psychological Development 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eII Understanding Visual Perception 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIII Understanding who can see you: Preliminary Investigations 25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIV Understanding who can see you: Further Investigations 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eV Assessing Validity with Young Children 106\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVI Conclusions 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements 152\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommentary\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Not Understanding Minds 153\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eR.
